Good Morning All: I'm gald that ya'll enjoyed the poem, I'd like to take credit for it, but I only changed a couple of things and then passed it on. I agree with Robert a dull pencil works very well as a burnishing tool. Jim from Ark called the other day to tell me that he lost his hard drive and will not get a new one until afer Christmas so he may not be back on line until then. Besides, he is going to see family for Christmas so he'll not be home. Jim: I used the book by Lou Sassi for ideas on how to do some scenery, not the track plan. I've built one layout from MR and helped neighbors built three others and never have we built one just like the book. The first one that I built was The Yuletide Central in high school, then later I helped build The Pinetree Central, and then Layout # nine out of the Atlas "N" book. None of these layouts was built like the book. The book was used as a starting point. I'm a firm believer in making do and doing my thing. Lou has some good ideas that are worth using. Another book that I've gleaned a lot of information out of is "The Pennsy Middle Division in HO Scale" by Dave Frary. I think that John has done a good job of describing what he has done and it would be a benefit to others. Flip: In the order of December birthdays mine is the 13th. I was a Friday the 13th baby back in 1940. Ed: If I've got some transfers that I want to do and the letters are to close I put a paper under the ones that are close and that way they go on the paper and not the model. You can put a piece of scotch tape on the end of the paper so it isn't under what you are burnishing. If you use waxed paper sometime the transfers will not come off the origional paper. Is all of this clear as mud? Well I'm going upstairs and do some serious wireing today. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
